as 600 single-class cabins with private facilities and air-conditioning. Incres renamed her Victoria and ran her from New York on cruises to the West Indies. In 1964 she was sold to Victoria SS Co of Monrovia, a subsidiary of Swedish company Clipper Line of Malmö. She retained both her name and service. Incres Line continued as agents for the ship. For 11 years Victoria cruised from the United States to the Caribbean. In 1975 Clipper Line sold her to Chandris Line, who modified her name to The Victoria. Chandris used her for Caribbean and European cruises until 1993, with a minor refurbishment in 1987 when Jade deck was created by converting storerooms into 38 passenger cabins. This was a major accomplishment as the ship was cruising with passengers aboard at the same time. In 1993 Louis Cruise Lines bought the ship and renamed her Princesa Victoria. She made two and three-day cruises from Cyprus and spent the winters laid up in Perama. She served as a hotel ship in port for Expo '98 in Lisbon and for the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001. Fate Princesa Victoria was laid up from 2002. By then she was the oldest large liner still operating anywhere in the World. In 2004 she was scrapped at the Kumar Steel Breakers Yard in India.
